求助: Kellogg Essay的困惑

Xinking · 发表于 2009-10-10 12:17:00

对Kellogg Essay #3很困惑. 我应该以一个招生人员的口气来写 (this candidate has a solid
background....) 还是以自己本人的角度来写(I have a solid background...).
如果是以一个招生人员的口气来写, 那么就只能是对我其它essay和resume的总结, 不能有新的故事出现. 如果是自己的角度,
那么我就可以更自由的发挥, 可以加新的故事.

大家能给点意见吗?谢谢阿

从语感的角度来看，应该是从招生委员会的学生成员角度出发~语感是虚无缥缈的

我认为是可以加新的故事。

回复楼上，个人认为，假设你是adcom的人，说明你自己为什么是个好的候选人。其实最终还是写你自己的优势，你可以把这篇essay就当成是你自己为什么认为你自己是个好的候选人即可，至于假设的这个身份不过是个小的背景，不用介意太多。

I work in the MIT admissions office and I am a graduate student at Harvard. Due to sentence structure, you should use the third person. It would be very awkward for your to construct sentences such as...I believe that I would.....it is wordy and weird. It would be more effective to say...I believe this candidate...Anyway you can email me at tinaxue@mit.edu or tinaxue@fas.harvard.edu for more info. I offer writing and editing services for essays and PS.

I wrote this essay using first person. I have seen other people using third person answering this question. There are ways to write it either way. If you have good content and good story, you will be just fine. Focus on answering the question, style can be flexible.
